That year he went to England fresh from a string of spectacular victories :: " ,:X ..... ..: 1." ' :; ít :::,:* ' i , . ø fi ";, ..:-\,: < " i"" ,x", here, and made his heroic try over a strange course, in a strange climate, without the jockey he was used to. This year he is just an American- owned horse trying again. His chances are lessened, I think, by the voyage home and back again to which he was subjected when Mr. Bruce decided to retire him. Poor Billy! One pitied him at the Devon show last year, w hen, draped in a gorgeous pink cooler and kicking nervously at every- one in range, he was paraded for the bencfi t of the mob, like a fi ve-legged calf in aside-show. Then, just as he was settling down in Maryland, it was decided to run him again, so he was whisked back to Aubrey Hastings in Grand National i" 1 :,,;' { _."

None of the other American-owned entries has this handicap of a change of climate to surmount, as they have all been left with their respective English trainers since last year. Laddie San- ford's Bright's Boy, who is one of them, is an unimaginative horse that almost always gets around well up, but has never won. However, he has proved beyond doubt that he can jump the course. Jock \Vhitney would seem to have a strong pair in Maguel- onne and Easter Hero, whom he bought from the ill-fated Loewenstein. I don't, however, think the National is a mare's race, especially for a small weedy one like l\1aguclonne; and Easter Hero was the cause of bringing twenty-odd horses down at Becher's last year in his spectacular fall. Whit- ney may not start Easter Hero, high up in the weights as he is, for the con- viction is growing that his speed would make him a valuable horse in the big steeplechases here. O NE wonders if Victor Emanuel will fulfill the promise he made last year to the English papers-of ,P ;,>':::'::, "{"' <<i;::' .., .. . ,,\ .,t: J .., t t '11!,: ' "'. . j< l; ':' 0,.'<1: /f :::i :: ..'., , . ,,/' '..,>< .- : "", , -9:, ./, /,. : ý .... ,;: ;' r" ' ' ' ,'Y '::(,,;:' "1:,â: w ' " ,*,,. 4t;;'F ;.
